Obama: Family Would Be Happy With One Term

President Barack Obama says his wife and daughters aren’t “invested” in him being president and would have been fine had he decided against running for re-election.

But he says they believe in what he’s doing for the country.

Asked about his family’s reaction to his wanting another term, Obama said: “Michelle and the kids are wonderful in that if I said, `You know, guys, I want to do something different,’ They’d be fine. They’re not invested in daddy being president or my husband being president.”

The President’s wife and children think he’s A-ok even if he’s not the President. Why even put this out there? Wait, wait-don’t tell me.

The right wing will turn this into Michelle telling Barack she’s filing for divorce if he runs for a second term; into the girls being suicidal at the mere idea of having to spend four more years in the White House. Chaos on Pennsylvania Avenue, all because Obama is a power-hungry man who doesn’t care one whit about his family.

Same reason that most of the other Presidents (GOP or Dem) went to private school. Safer for both the President’s kids and the other school children to send them to a place that is best prepared to protect them and work with the Secret Service.
